RadControls and ASP.NET Dynamic Data - Update

I am having some issues trying to integrate RadGrid into my Dynamic Data site. This post was on 5/22, and the very next day, 5/23, a new release of Dyn Data was posted on http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/dynamicdata so I am not clear which version of Dyn Data this was tested with, but I am using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta and the Dyn Data bits that come with it. When I try to incorporate the RadGrid bits, I get the following error when I try to open your version of ListDetails.aspx in the Visual Studio designer: Error Rendering Control - UpdatePanel1. The control collection cannot be modified during DataBind, Init, Load, PreRender, or Unload phases. If I ignore the designer error and attempt to run the site, in your ListDetails.aspx, this line: DynamicDataManager1.RegisterControl(RadGrid1); generates the following exception: [NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.] System.Web.DynamicData.BaseDataControlAdapter.set_DataKeyNames(String[] value) +54 System.Web.DynamicData.DynamicDataManager.ConfigureDataGroup(DynamicDataGroup dataGroup) +630 System.Web.DynamicData.DynamicDataManager.RegisterControl(Control control) +322 ListDetails.Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:\Documents and Settings\Adam Greene\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\BSN.DynamicDataEntities\DynamicData\PageTemplates\ListDetails.aspx.cs:17 System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object o, Object t, EventArgs e) +14 System.Web.Util.CalliEventHandlerDelegateProxy.Callback(Object sender, EventArgs e) +35 System.Web.UI.Control.OnInit(EventArgs e) +99 System.Web.UI.Page.OnInit(EventArgs e) +12 System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) +333 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +378 Any suggestions?

Just an update: I have tried your code with the updated 5/23 release of Dynamic Data. ListDetails.aspx still causes a designer error: Error Creating Control - UpdatePanel1 Value cannot be null, Parameter name: httpContext The good news is that is I ignore this error, the site does MOSTLY build & run properly now, although there are some javascript errors when I try to do things like edit/insert/update/cancel.

Hi Adam, Indeed there is an error in design time. Fortunately the fix is easy - just add these two lines in the OnInit method of the DynamicGrid control (in App_Code): if (DesignMode) return; As for the second error - I couldn't reproduce it. Everything worked fine on my end using the current Dynamic Data Bits and the modified ListDetails.aspx. Any additional info would help me track the problem.

THANK YOU so much for doing this work for us all. I keep getting "'System.Web.DynamicData.IControlParameterTarget' is inaccessible due to its protection level" on public class DynamicRadGrid : RadGrid, IControlParameterTarget, IPersistedSelector class. Why would that be? I am frustrated because the source doesn't compile. regards. Primoz

You are probably using an older version of ASP.NET Dynamic Data where that interface wasn't public. Please try upgrading to the latest bits. Make sure you have uninstalled the older bits first.

Yes, Update to latest one, than run ok!

Null checks need to be added to the FieldTemplates ie. in the ExtractValues method of DateTime_Edit.ascx.cs RadDatePicker will fail trying to convert DbSelectedDate.ToString() if the value is null.

Hi, I have integrated this to my project but no data displayed on grid and details. My case is a little complicated : 1. My dbml file is in a dll which is imported (Meta data are ok) 2. I am using Web Application, NOT website. But It was working properly with datagrid.

Ok I solved it that was my mistake...

Hi all (bv-ers)

Hi all,

I have created a sample project and have submitted it to Telerik by support ticket.

Meanwhile you can contact me trough my website contact form for a download link.

Also we are testing with a combination of MVC, Dynamic Data and Telerik controls 
And we are testing with a formview (edit/insert pages) and a dynamicly created template with dynamic controls.

Grz all,

Erik
